The Evolution

I try to be friendly as a gerneral rule. I'm usually on the Australian servers and have encountered a few friendlies. Usually a case of the 2 of us running into each other and freeze ( I'm new to these games and seeing a "real person" can still freak me out a bit - 70hr of game time so far ). The other players have generally been better equipped than me and have asked if I needed anything... Whether I do or not, my usual response is "no I'm fine" and we have parted company..... Communication for me is only through direct chat atm as I need to get a working mic. While looting a military base a player came up behind me and shot me. When I came to he actually said sorry and patched me up before taking off..... Still got shot by bandits about 10min later. But I have killed..... Had just resporned and was coming down a hill into a large town and saw some player and zombie activity in the distance. After coming down slowly and looting a fire station, I was heading to the cop shop and came across 2 players fighting ( they didn't see me). They were both much better equipped than me, both having guns, but one eventually died. I peeked over the wall I was hiding behind and the live player was just standing there (prob going through inventory or something). I figured this guy had killed before and would do the same to me so I snuck up behind him and axed him in the head. I've made a few mistakes as well - was stalked by (what I thought was a single bandit) so set up an ambush.... Got the kill but was also trigger happy and emptied my whole clip into the guy.... Only to be capped by him mate a few seconds later because I didn't reload fast enough. Another time I was shot by a guy who started shouting (was only a glancing wound as I was still conscious) but I panicked and run for cover... He shot me dead. Don't know how it would have ended if I had stopped and put hands up but I guess he did what I would have done and shot dead a player running for cover to shoot back.... Was real angry as I had been packing a fully bombed AK and never even used it for a single shot. Want to try teaming up with someone eventually when I get a bit better.
